of 1921, now; matured into U.,S.Patent No.&1,738,- .736 grantecLDec; 10,1929 the vehiclencarried transformer combination -P- -S operates to normallyenergize the relayR by the transmission of suificientflux from the primary? to the secondary s toeii'ectively energize the relay coil of the relay- R. When, however, the coupled coil. combination P-S moves over in proximity to an inert roadside element, the-flux from the .primaryl is diverted to and through theroadside inert element and shunted from; the secondary coil, S in a,- degree suliicient-to effectively deenergize the relay R When the relay R. is energized'underfthe first or normal condition of the: inductively coupled, coils P and S,-the cir cuit controlling member 15 thereof assumes a normal position, such as shown in fulllines in Fig. :1' .of'. the 'dra'wingsjwhich position is indicated as x, and when the relay i'sefiectively deene'r gized by the shunting of the secondary, the circuit controlling member l5 of the. relaymoves to a neutral position suchas indicated by the dotted line position y. In the operation of this system it is also known that when the roadside inert element is provided with. an .energyless circuit, thesaid circuitmay be'iclosed to permitthe vehicle carried inductor means to .pass the roadside inductor. '(onc'lose'd circuit) without "any'substantial diversion or shunting of the flux'from ,tliesecondary. S and hence without j modifying .thefoperationof the relay R, the circuit controlllin'g member ISthereo'f being maintained in'the normal or full-line position By this means it is possible to control the .roadside inductor either to produce an -efiective deenergiztionof the vehicle'carried translating devicev or relay to trip :the vehicle carried 3 apparatus, or to permit the yehiQIeJcarri'ed' a paratus to pass the roadside station'unaifectedso as .to prevent or inhibit the acter, another activating influence canjbe'pro- "duced in the vehicle'carried "conductors and apparatus bytne employmentof. a roadside circuit devoid of, any energy source. More particularly,

' have, le n'pirically found that. by' employing an inert orenergyless. roadside circuit of givencha ra'cteristicaa torque maybe produced in the relay {R whichis substantially greater than the normal torque. thereof due to the 'normal transmissionof flux from the primary coil P to the secondary coil S. 'This increase of torque in the ,relay'R may be employed for producing a third .rie'dapparatus, such as an indication in response to a caution roadside. condition, or-for effect- ;in'g air'esettin'g operation .of thetripped vehicle carried:apparatus'izr. .1 a. .i: .J.

These results I have found capable of being accomplished by the use of a tuned or resonant inert roadside circuit controlling"theroadside inductor, and tothese ends my invention contemplates the provision of a track or roadside inductormeans T embodying an inductor track coil t wound ona core I6 which preferably is laminated, the said coil t being controlled by a circuit d "devoid of anenergysource, which circuit is tuned or maderesonant by means of a condenser K connectedin series with the track coil t. The said circuit'is also provided with a switch member I! movable into the clear, caution and danger positions shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings by beingconrfec't'ed to a semaphore, signalling appara- .tus I8 or equivalent meansassociatedwith the insulated track sections or blocks 1-9 3.116.120 of a block signalling system. .When. the. vehicle carried inductor combination PS is positioned or moves overthe track inductor T when the, tuned or resonant circuit at is closed, an increaseover the normal .:torque of the relay R. is produced which is utilized to moventhe circuit controlling member 15 of the-relay to a third-position a indicated indotted lines in Fig. 1 of thedrawings. This increase of torque I believeis due to an increase in thedriving'E. M..F. in the secondary ,coil. S, such increase indriving E. F. being in turn due to a strong counter, magneto-motive ;cautionior danger track conditions, the inert core 16 of the track inductor 'l diverts or shunts the flux from the secondary as heretofore. described, andthereiore itwiil be-seen that the roadside circuit} d i is operative: to selectively diminish or increase the flux transmission from the primary coill? to,the secondary-coil S of the vehiclecarried inductormeans, the opening of the trackcircuit dcausing a' shunting or diversion; of fluxfrom the secondary, while the closing of said tuned. circuitzd causesa concentration or increase of flux through the secondary S, such increase operating the relay. RT-to its third position J'z.

-:Iri Fig. 3 of the'drawingaI-have shown a graph which :depicts" these characteristic operations of the'vehicle carried androadside inductors; In this graph the ordinates represent the torque effective on the relay R while the abscissae represent the movement of the vehicle inductor means over the track inductor, the latter beingshown onth'e graph.- Normally-a torque is produced'in the relay'R represented by the curve XX corresponding to the'position- 'x of l the relay armature T Under danger roadside conditions when the tuned circuit d is opened to produce the deenergization of the relay R, the torque curve drops and is-represented by, the-"curve XOYOX whenlthe train-carried andtrack inductoria are ,in co-operative relation.-When, however, thezvehicle .in-

ductorwcooperates withsthe track inductor on closed tuned circuit the torque of therelay increases' a's shownpby the curve XZX. This phenomenon maybe contrasted-with that produced .by an untuned track circuit, for with the use of an untuned trackcircuit-the torque of therelay slightly decreasesv when .the untuned track: cirfluencing the vehicle carried inductor means to respectively decrease and increase the energy transmission between the vehicle'coupled coils and to thereby produce respectively either one or the'other of said two operating conditions in the vehicle carried apparatus.
